Have you had any real success with that? Cause Wordpress is most of the times no-follow and blogEngine sites are spammed as hell (i.e. high OBL=low-quality backlinks)

I'm curious, I always wondered what results do other people have.

Anyway, OP: xbox in the domain name may give some headaches since Microsoft doesn't like to have their TM on domains they don't own. So you may lose the domain someday.

And yes, "Free Xbox Live Gold" gets 74k searches per month with a broad match according to the Adwords Keyword Tool.

but you should consider the exact match = the number of people that types into Google *exactly* free xbox live gold (5.4k per month) (hoping it's fairly accurate, but who knows)

last thing: SEO is not only backlinks, you need to take care of on-page factors as well (i'd suggest you to create a Wordpress blog for the purpose of SEO, it's easier to optimize on the on-page side of things)

Edit: I just checked your keyword.
It has 74k monthly searches, but none for the previous month which is May.
Also, it has only 5,4k exact searches, makes 180 per day approximately. Again, no searches at all for the previous month.

It's not my intention to destroy your visions, but one could say you are wasting time and money on this. Unless you get traffic from other sources.
